I don't think you got the question. What I think he's asking is that for releases of Crunchbang based on wheezy (while wheezy = testing) would it be possible to have a repo branched off testing - a repo that is 'buffered' or you might say 'moderated' - like Parsix and Mint do. This way the testing repo doesn't periodically get flooding with updates that have not been tested much.

Note that testing does not receive security updates from Debian - I think Parsix and Mint blend this into their 'testing' repos too.

@jerry525: I don't think it's gonna happen as it's a lot of work, and Corenominal isn't that big on delegation.

@anybody: How sensible would it be to change from Debian's testing repo to Mint's?

So it's a 'release'?

Any future pre-releases or any future 'releases'?

I mean is this considered 'release' or 'development'? You know, from the point of view of Distrowatch and write-ups.

A site I use for work is a badly-written ASP.NET thing that uses 40-60k VIEWSTATE variables and doesn't understand gzip. I modified a PHP proxy program so it gzips everything, strips out VIEWSTATE variables, made sense of javascript links, added digest auth, and modified headers of static files to make then cacheable. Saving: 90%. I couldn't survive without it when I'm out in the middle of nowhere connecting through my phone.

Compressing images would be an easy add-on but this solution is a traditional 'CGI' proxy server - not at all 'elegant' - so not good for general surfing. Let me know how you get along as I'm very interested.

If you're getting your coding hat on then a 'Report' link on the profile page might be a good idea.

Actually deleting spam would reduce the amount of spam you would have to get rid of. They spam because they've found that they can, and the amount increases exponentially.

I don't think the 7-day thing would make much impact on the volume of new spam. A seven-day exposure is plenty of reward for the effort required. As I said by PM (no reply) the spammers want their link from:
http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/
from 'Newest registered user:'
Currently their links stay there for one, two, six or sixteen hours - until a 'real' member signs up - and that's a huge win for them. As soon as the 'real' member signs up ... they sign another up.

Get rid of the  'Newest registered user:' link.

So, in the FLOSS spirit, the acceptable workarounds would be: 1) forking (somewhat extreme), or 2) submit a bug report, or 3) patching some kind of theming capability ... perhaps? Somebody started on the latter:

Following from the 'toolkits' link there's this:

(BTW this thread is a question, not a tip.)

For such an important suggestion this is a somewhat slap-dash opening post. It's almost a troll.

Complete? You really need Database, Presentation and Drawing or are you saying the Writer and Spreadsheet apps need to be more feature-filled?

Note Abiword and Gnumeric are being worked on. Ooo?

Yep. But the suggestion is for 'having'; not 'substituting'.

So, looks like the clever ways don't work.

As anon said, yes. There are several Ghost alternatives - my favourite is partclone - can d/l and run from a live distro.

Next thing to do get on their support channels, forums, whatever, and complain loudly about this.

The second partition will be preserved, as long as you don't format. Deleting the config files and starting afresh is often a good idea, esp if it's a different distro.

Same on the Eee. Actually I imagine it's a pretty normal circumstance. However you *can* actually proceed.
